[QUOTE="Fordzuki, post: 1469144, member: 17662"] What an eventful day. I started out the morning by drilling the bushings out to 1/2", and rounding up nuts and bolts for the pivots. I also added some short sections of 1/2" square to the tops of the backboard bolts, so I wouldn't need a wrench to move it around. I took it out back and started with a backhalf of a soft top tub, and it slid under, lifted, transported and placed it across the yard without getting out of the rig. :cool: Once that was out of the way, I went after the tintop tub. It lifted it just fine, but when I went to back up, I realized it was a little light on the back, as I was only in 2wd low. :haha: Shifted over to 4low and drove it out of the yard. [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/8654f1ed.jpg[/IMG] I did have to add a block of wood under the one fork, cause it wasn't really doing any of the lifting, the tub was teetering on a single fork. [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/4e203526.jpg[/IMG] While out messing around, I discovered a pinhole leak in the fuelfilter up by the engine, so I went to town and got a new one, and finally broke down and bought an alternator. :cheer: So....that's it right??? I can haz wheeling fun??? Nope. :booo: Not quite yet. I still need a tow rig. The bronco is needing more than I originally thought, and currently I've got to figure out why it's got no spark, new booster, figure out the headlight gremlin... And the LJ of course showed one more problem tonight. I had it idling out in the yard while trying to get the bronco started, and noticed the fan never kicked on. The thermo switch is kind of hokey to begin with, and I think sitting out in the driveway for so long did it in. I could get the fan to switch on, but I'd like to do some research on wiring it in to the existing switch on the engine. A little closer...... [/QUOTE]
